Scoreboard Operator
Boston, Massachusetts

The Green Monster, known to most Bostonians and to every baseball fan, is located at Boston’s Fenway Park. It is one of the few manually operated scoreboards remaining in the U.S. and it stands thirty-seven feet high. The work space behind the wall is a dark and dusty corridor with narrow slits for changing the numbers or for watching the game. Chris Elias has held the position of scoreboard operator for twelve years and counting. Here he is hurrying to finish his pre-game duties before taking up his prized post behind the Green Monster.
